Chris O'Neill proudly revealed details about his newborn daughter and how his royal wife, Princess Madeleine of Sweden, is doing following the birth of the couple's first child. "At 10:41 last night we brought a little girl into this world," said 39-year-old Chris in a press conference on Friday. "She looks like her mum which is all I wanted." "We have ten fingers, ten toes," he added. "And she's got a very strong, nice roar on her. "She weighs 3150 grams and measured 50 centimetres," added Sona Degann, a gynaecology specialist at New York Presbyterian Hospital. "And she is beautiful and healthy."

"He [Chris] was at her side at all times," said Sona. "Made her comfortable and most importantly - happy." "The princess handled it wonderfully," Chris stated of 31-year-old Madeleine, whom he married in June 2013. "She's a very strong woman and she's resting now obviously as I would try to do afterwards, we haven't had much sleep."

"While Chris, Madeleine and their new arrival were enjoying their first days as a family, the royal birth was being celebrated across the princess' native country. A 21-gun salute was fired in Stockholm, where the couple tied the knot last year, as well as other locations across Sweden.

"We are all very excited that Madeleine and Christopher have become parents," added the new mum's sister, Princess Victoria. "We look forward to seeing the new family, especially Estelle, who is very curious about her new cousin. We wish them good luck!" I am very happy about my new granddaughter and I look forward to seeing her," said Chris's mother Eva-Maria O'Neill. "I wish her all the best in life."
